Assertion (A) Nitration of chlorobenzene...

Assertion (A) Nitration of chlorobenzene leads to the formation of m-nitrochlorobenzene.
Reason (R) `-NO_(2)` group is a m-directing group.

A

Assertion is false but reason is true

B

Assertion is true but reason is false

C

Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not a true explanation for assertion

D

Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation for assertion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The assertion is incorrect but the reason is correct as the chlorination of nitrobenzene (not the nitration of chlorobenzene) leads to the formation of m-nitrochlorobenzene because `-NO_(2)` group deactivates the ring because it is metal-directing.

Assertion (A) Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenas towards nucleophilic substitution. Reason (R ) Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.

Assertion: Replacement fo -Cl group by -OH in chlorobenzene is easier if nitro group is present in the ring. Reason: Nitro group leads to strengthening of the C-Cl bond in chlorobenzene.
